Here is another one. Basically the same report. I think this one came first allowing the first one (above) to complete the "beginning to show up everywhere" meme circle.

1. I took it as a clinical term for a singular tater tot.

Plural, I guess, would be 'toti,' or "tots" in the common vernacular.

2. Totus could also be a plural....

..assuming totus, tot�s, and fourth declension. Unlikely though

3. Yes. It would be fun to write to FOX News and force them into

some kind of explanation.

I know they're terribly busy these days smearing Judge Sotomayor, but hey, this is important.

4. I actually think the whole concept is funny. TOTUS is just electronic three by five cards.

And the thing about TOTUS, is, it's "transparent." Isn't that what everyone wants?

5. Do you realize that the TOTUS has yet to produce a birth certificate?

Think about that for a while

IS IT EVEN CONSTITUTIONALLY ELIGIBLE TO BE THE TOTUS?!?!?!?

7. If we look at his owner's manual, we might be able to find a clue.

Oops--does that say "Made in China?" Oooooooh, nooooooooooooooo!

8. I think it's funny, however...

Bush should have never been allowed to speak without his TOTUS. Then again, he didn't do so well with it, did he?

9. It's actually not a bad humor piece done by Fox. It puts those who take it seriously in a dismissed

position.
